Your contribution of headphones, Expo markers, and folders has made a real difference for my kindergarten students and me.\r\n\r\nThe new headphones have transformed our learning centers! My students can now focus during literacy and math activities on their laptops without distractions. For many of them, this is their first time having their very own pair of headphones, and they take great pride in using them responsibly.\r\n\r\nThe Expo markers have brought new excitement to small-group lessons and individual whiteboard work. My students love showing their thinking, practicing letters and numbers, and sharing their ideas proudly. The folders help us stay organized — a big accomplishment for five- and six-year-olds learning independence!\r\n\r\nIn our inner-city, low-income district, access to classroom supplies like these is not something we can take for granted. Your kindness has provided tools that directly support our daily learning and help build a joyful, engaging classroom community.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for investing in my students' education and believing in their potential. Your support means more than words can express.","fullyFundedDate":1756175075942,"projectUrl":"project/hear-write-and-organize-tools-for-a-t/9382821/","projectTitle":"Hear, Write, and Organize: Tools for a Thriving Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Zaccone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10045061"},{"teacherId":9137644,"projectId":9247776,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!

The pencil top erasers help keep their work neat and give them the confidence to fix mistakes without frustration.\r\n\r\nOur new headphones have been a huge help during computer-based learning. Students can now work independently and stay focused during literacy and math activities without distractions. The convex mirror has also added an extra layer of safety, helping me monitor every part of our classroom and ensure a safe space for all learners.\r\n\r\nThese materials may seem small, but they have an enormous impact on our daily routines.

These tools make learning fun and keep every student engaged and motivated.\r\n\r\nThe tablets also help me meet each student's individual needs. Some students are working on letter sounds and sight words, while others are diving into comprehension activities and new stories.
